Connection elbow on Ingersoll Compressor

[pawsnizzy]

Hi All,
I need to modify some pipework on my Vertical Ingersoll Rand compressor and I'm a bit baffled by the connection into the receiver

The female side accepts a brass sleeve nut that goes over the 1/2" copper pipe, which is flared. the nut tightens the flare down onto, what looks like some kind of gasket/washer inside the fitting.

Can someone educate me as to what kind of fitting I need to ask for and where from please?

(I was expecting an olive of some kind, but I gather these are common in HVAC)

The fitting I require are a 90 deg elbow (like shown) and a straight one

Many Thanks

Dave

Looks like an old flared fitting. I'd ditch it and just use a 15mm compression bend.

as above . use 15mm compression fittings from toolstation or screwfix and a bit of copper pipe . that's all I have on one of my comps

Will ordinary 15mm Cu pipe withstand ~20 Bar? The stuff I've had over the last few years seems more fragile than years ago

Thanks for the replies too

I have had the same 15mm plumbing pipe on mine for the last 45 years

The 15mm tube Screwfix sell is good for 58bar.
